I'm beginning to wonder if GE is going to matter as much going forward. My wife has GE as she travels a great deal for business. I do not have it.
However, in December upon returning to DFW, they now have like 100 customs kiosks to handle customs in a "DIY" fashion. I simply went up, scanned my passport, said yes this info is me, smiled for a picture, said no I don't have more than $10,000, no I'm not bringing fruits, vegetables or cows back into the country and it printed a receipt and I was on my way.
Ironically, my wife went through the GE line and they were having issues with those kiosks and I actually beat her out of customs!
So, going forward I'm having trouble seeing the value add of GE, particularly, if like myself, you predominately re-enter the US via ports like DFW, ORD, JFK, MIA, and LAX.
Any thoughts? Will GE matter as much going forward? What is the value add versus these new kiosks.
